Home Loan Tips & How to Prepare
Whether you’re a first-time buyer or just need a refresher, understanding how to get mortgage-ready can make the process smoother and faster. Here’s what to know before you apply:
What We Look for When Qualifying You
Lenders evaluate four key areas:
- Credit Score – A higher score improves your rate and options (620+ minimum for most programs).
- Income & Employment – Stable, verifiable income is essential. Self-employed borrowers can qualify too—with the right documentation.
- Debt-to-Income Ratio (DTI) – We look at how much debt you carry compared to your income.
- Assets – Down payment, closing costs, and reserves should be documented.
What Documents to Provide
Be ready with:
- Last 2 years of W-2s or tax returns
- Most recent pay stubs (30 days)
- Bank statements (last 2 months)
- ID (driver’s license or passport)
- Additional docs if self-employed: P&Ls, 1099s, bank statements, or CPA letter
What Not to Do During the Loan Process
Avoid these common mistakes:
- ❌ Don’t open or finance new credit (cars, cards, etc.)
- ❌ Don’t make large, undocumented deposits
- ❌ Don’t switch jobs or become self-employed
- ❌ Don’t co-sign for anyone else’s loan
- ❌ Don’t ignore requests from your lender—we’re here to help, not hassle
How to Prepare for Buying a Home
Start off right:
- Check and improve your credit early
- Pay down debts and avoid new credit lines
- Start saving for your down payment and closing costs
- Organize income and asset documentation
- Get pre-approved before house hunting
